Dan got up at an unbelievable 0300 this morning, staying up and getting ready for work. I think he was excited about the first "real" day--the casino was opening to invited tribal members only.

I, of course, went back to sleep. I was just waking when my phone rang--it was Lauretta, the girl who cuts my hair. She had a cancellation and wondered if I wanted to come in earlier, 11:15 or so. Yes!! The visitation for Miss B's mom was only from 12-1, with the funeral at 1, and my hair appointment was at 12, so I was going to be late. This cancellation puts me at the church just after 12. Thank you, God, for taking care of me.

So I had to get up then. I got ready, taking a change of clothes so that I don't have little hairs all over me.

Lauretta did a good job, as usual, and even rinsed my head after the cut. I got over to the church just as I thought I would.

It was a very nice service, the first funeral I've been to since my own mother passed. Kind of weird. I stayed for the luncheon, leaving around 3:45.

At home, I called Dan, who had called just as I was getting into Michigan Center this morning, wanting me to send him something by email that was on his computer. He hadn't left work yet (surprise), so he walked me through getting into his email and sending it.

While waiting for him to come home, I went in and played the piano. How nice!

Just after the Birthday Boy got home about 7 pm, Bre and Nick were here. That was a nice surprise to me, though Dan knew they were coming over.

We visited a while, then I made nachos for us. That was yummy. I cleaned up the kitchen, and cut the pineapple and peaches for the fruit salad for the Gushen Reunion tomorrow. Dan fell asleep in the chair, Bre and Nick were doing something on the computer. When Dan woke up a minute he went on into bed. Bre and Nick left about 10:30 or so.

I wrote here, and I'll be off to bed soon, too.

Thank you for reading. Hugs.
